Is there any way to hit a monster with a staff or wand of fire, cold, or lightning in version 5.3? I have tried it against all sorts of monsters, and always am told that I missed. E.g. once I missed seven times in a row with a wand of fire against a troll - in version 5.2, the troll would have been burned to a crisp. I have tried them when I was low level, high level, and I even tried wielding them before zapping, but I always miss. What is going on here?
